Virtual Quiling Weekend -- November 11 - 13, 2016
 

Welcome to the Veteran's Day Virtual Quilting Weekend. Hopefully many of you will be able to join me this weekend in some type of quilt related activity. My plan is to hopefully finish a few projects that just need a little more work to complete. Also, tomorrow a friend and I are working on a dahlia (Quiltsmart version). Hopefully that goes smoothly, I'm not too sure about the middle steps! If you are new to VQW, we post on this thread what we're working on, pictures are welcome. We encourage each other, and often inspire each other for future projects :) Since I'm working on some things today, I decided to go ahead and start the thread a little early. Can't wait to see what all of you are working on.

I've got a lot on my plate. My two daughters are each getting married next summer/fall and I've promised TOPS (at least) by the wedding dates. My younger is first and agreed to a double wedding ring, which I haven't made before. She selected Judy Neimeyer's Flowers for my Wedding Ring with seven 'single color' gradated colorways in batiks. I've finished the color segments and will be attaching the corners and melons starting tomorrow. This daughter also stole my Bernina 150 Virtuoso and I've done all the paper piecing on my featherweight. I can't fight her too much for my Bernia as she's sewing her own wedding gown, based on dissatisfaction with what's commercially available (Like Father, Like Daughter?).

I'll see how curved seams work out on the featherweight, else I might be in the market for a new (or new to me) machine!

Hello !
If I can find time this weekend I'd like to join in. Need to get started on my daughter's quilt. I have the fabrics (kaffe fassett florals -- not necessarily my favorites but she wants them), and a very rough pattern that I'm going to have to interpret. Hoping to get that done, and to start cutting fabrics ...

I'll join in ......... since the weather is getting cooler here in AZ. I really need to finish the quilting on my hubby's quilt. Plus my Bonnie Hunter mystery Allietare is still in pieces.

Thank you for hosting this weekend, it is Remembrance Day here in Canada tomorrow so we also have a long weekend. I will try to get my scrappy chevron blocks joined into a lap sized top.[ATTACH=CONFIG]562013[/ATTACH]

My Asian scrappy road gas about one hour left on the binding. Then there are four blocks for $5 quilt club before the meeting tomorrow. Then finish quilting the Christmas wall hanging and bind it. Then back to quilting the Diamond Star Log Cabin for the rest of the weekend.

Thanks for another great VQW to come Raggiemom, I'm in the middle of putting blocks together for an Arkansas Crossroads quilt so I'm in.

I will join the crowd! I need to make binding and bind a quilt for my great-niece, plus I have a Linus Project quilt that I'm making with random cat prints, plus a few pinwheels, that needs some loving attention. Also I need to clean and reorganize my sewing room. Should be a busy weekend!

Having finished my Boomerang swap blocks, I can once again focus on the shadow box quilt for my nephew.

I'll be having a root canal Friday morning, but if all goes well, I'd like to work more at piecing the Five EAsy Pieces quilt I'm making for my friend.
